What should we do with the moon?

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

Leave it alone. Its fine as it is.

 

[Blitzkrieg8]

Apparently the moon contains lots of Helium-3 which is a rare energy source. So in short I'd mine the moon and become even more filthy rich.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium-3

Step 0. Get funding from Riched Brandson and other crazy rich persons.
Step 1. Set up independent and self-sufficient base on (or over) the moon.(With Earth like gravity for personnel)
Step 2. Build super laser and declare independence from all earth nations.
Step 3. Then sell helium-3 back to earth at premium prices.
Step 4. Offer side facing earth for advertising. (make even more money)
Step 5. Milk the earth dry of money, skilled persons, and high tech weapons.
Step 6. Take over Mars. (Slowly buy out Earth as well)

Continue till faster than light travel is developed.

Why would you tell everyone your evil plan?

 

[Neonbob]

I want to blow it into chunks. And make the Earth have rings!
That'd be much cooler than one giant orb.

Yeah, but there is the possibilty of causing a deadly meteor shower.

:-D
Even more reason to do so!
How many people would like to say they were killed by falling chunks of moon?

 

[Energylegzz]

I say we turn it into a huge shield that can cover select portions of the earth in case of a small but devastating meteor strike.

Isn't that what all evil villains are supposed to do?

Uhh...how can you tell people you were killed by falling chuncks of moon when you've been killed by falling chucks of moon?

 

[Raregolddragon]

I would Colonize it but I would regulate just who and what gets to be and live on the moon.

 

[Azraellod]

...paint it black.

just to make it harder to see.

i'm not going to do anything that involves destroying it, because not only would it doom us, it would also make life on earth impossible beyond maybe single celled organisms.

 

[The_Echo]

Hippies won't shut up about landfills; turn the moon into a giant landfill. Hippies also won't shut up about nuclear dumping; dump it all on the moon. We could also do the reasonable thing and carve my name in it.

It's a full Souplex tonight.

 

[A random person]

I'd make it into a human extermination system that would crash into Earth when one million monkeys are on the surface. I'd have to wage a war with them, win it, and force them underground first, though.

Cookie for reference, by the way.

DINNER WITH CLANGERS

 

[Sewblon]

Banish all the sex offenders, first posters, telemarketers and Seth Mcfarlane to the moon to fend for themselves and eventually cannibalize each other, on film that will be broadcast back to the earth in real time.

 

[shufflemonkey16]

Wow, this is a great thread :-D

There's probably some useful stuff in that rock. I'd make billions with the first off-world mining operation. Or I would eat it.

 

[SultanP]

Well, if it is mine, then I could set my own tax rates and so on. If that is the case I would set the tax rate to like one percent or something, and let all the big corporations have a shed on the moon that they could claim was their headquarters or something, then they can have their branches in other countries buy something inconsequential from the moon place, meaning they would transfer all their profit to the place with the lowest tax rate, giving me a considerable income with no labour at all.

But then again, if I bought the moon that would mean that I already have enough money, so I don't know what I would do. Probably use it to impress women somehow.

 

[ShawnRiles]

Easy, destroy it.

And watch the earth totally screw up :3

I'd create a colony of self replicating robots for the mass labor needed for my space fleet for galactic conquest.

 

[Beffudled Sheep]

I would turn it into a deathstar and blow up Mercury.
Mercury thinks its hot stuff just because its so close to the sun. I'll show Mercury a thing or two.

Sounds like it would be a lot easier just to dump all the hippies there

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

Tye-dye it.

Tye-dye + moon = hippie werewolves.

Voila. Werewolves, as hippies, will be virtually harmless. You can send me my 'Thank you for solving a worldwide dilemma' check in the mail.
